Cantilevered suites hang above the N'wanetsi River on a hillside inside Kruger National Park, close enough to the bush that the lodge practically fades into it. This all-inclusive safari resort covers everything: meals, drinks, and twice-daily game drives or bush walks. The design has been widely copied and never quite matched. It holds a spot on the World's 50 Best Hotels list, and the scale stays small enough that it never feels like a crowd.
